Podcasts: Learning through Listening

Podcasts are increasingly recognized as an effective platform to facilitate the development of healthcare professionals. The integration of digital technology supports new opportunities for the delivery of medical content. Podcasts can be provided in a variety of formats and played on a range of devices. Additionally, the number of physicians seeking medical education online is rapidly growing. In this session, we will discuss the current role of podcasts as educational tools in medical education, provide our perspective on medical podcasts, and practical considerations and unique challenges associated with podcasting.

Learning Objectives

  • Discuss the current role of podcasts as educational tools in medical education.
  • Describe the practical considerations and unique challenges associated with podcasting.

Learning Culture, by Design: Fostering Reflective Practitioners

Whether you’re aware of it or not, your classroom has a culture (hopefully not a bacterial one!). How does the broader culture of medicine impact the culture of your classroom? And, how can you design a culture that is proven to foster learning? In this session, you’ll learn tools to design a healthy learning culture and foster reflective practitioners.

Learning Objectives:

  • Explore how the culture of medicine is reflected in their classroom
  • Discuss the elements of a healthy learning culture
  • Apply reflection as a tool to shape learning culture
